I didn’t think I was going to get a limited order of a Dollfie Dream, but during the 2nd pre-order period in February, I got so smitten by Yuki Morikawa’s face design I HAD TO DO IT ^^; (after giving husband puppy dog face/eyes)… And after moons of waiting… a package arrived today XD
I saw the postal van from our window and was almost pressing my face on the door ^^; Before the post lady knocked on the door, I opened it as slowly as I could manage and said to her, “I SEE YOU!” (LOL) She chuckled and let me had my long awaited package XD. I wiped the table before putting the box on and Yoshi had to jump up and inspect when my back was turned for a second :P
This is my first direct order from Volksusa for their limited pre-order, and I really like the White Album’s box design! ^o^ Right now the box and doll is on my desk next to my lap top ^^;
Obligatory nude Dollfie Dream in box shot :P
Lifted the doll out and I see the other items ^^. I’m glad nothing was damaged as there’s no bubble wrap to hold the items in position, but I suppose with a box this big, if they stuffed bubble wrap or paper it’s gonna make it a lot heavier ^^;
Due to the long wait for her, I decided to make her something as I’m generally not a fan of the default clothing ^^;
She is definitely very beautiful, even more so in person! I am very very pleased :P
I decided to name her Aki (秋) which means for Autumn in Japanese :)
I was close to naming her Osoi LOL
Seeing how sweet she is, I decided to stick with Aki ^o^
Oh her arm sleeves are from her default outfit set ^^ her hair band was actually for blythe doll but it is small enough to fit her ^o^
With this girl finally here, I was glad that the sun came out for a bit so I can finally take a nice family photo! :)
Hopefully the other girls will be kind to Aki chan :P
I am kinda glad that I had a chance to get her before the yen and Canadian exchange rate became really bad ^^; To those who are thinking of getting her despite the cost, she’s totally worth it ;D
Before I forget, 3 copies of Otacool books arrived today! ^O^ Thank you Kotobukiya!
Wow- she’s lovely! Congrats on getting her! Your DD girls are so cute! ^_^

That part where you described you slowly opening the door somehow reminded me now of Jack Nicholson from “the shining”.
Good thing the postal lady didn’t just drop the box and ran for her dear life.

She is sooo pretty! I really like her face, and the accessories that came with her are very cute :)
Seeing your dolls make me still question whether or not I want my first doll to be a DD or this resin boy that I’ve had my eyes on for a long while :3 I almost can’t decide ^^;;

You know, I used to have the bigger resin dolls, but I don’t play with them as much since they are a lot heavier and a bit more brittle (their fingers may break easily =_=) When I got my first DD I know I cannot go back to resin :P

Haha, I understand. I think the DDs sort of look funny when they’re next to the Resin ones. I guess it’s beacuse of the looks. (Do all the resin one’s have brittly fingers? o.o) I’m debating between a MDD and a Leeke Boy..hmm..

I agree it’s likely the looks which sets them apart ^^ And well say if the doll face plants on a hard surface… the likelihood of chipping the nose or breaking a finger is there, so far in the past month I have heard at least 3 people’s dolls lost their pinkies ^^; I wouldn’t recommend MDD tho, they’re floppy, if U can wait wait for the DDS (dollfie dream sister) body :P

And oh! By the way, you should get what you really really want tho lol I don’t wanna push my opinion on you ^^; Sometimes we need to have something at hand to get the full experience before we can decide XD

Hahah, Alright I’ll keep that In mind. Only problem is that I’m going to be ordering them online, so I’m trying to learn all that I can about the different ones so that I sort of know what to expect for whichever I choose. and Thanks :)

Thanks, I got her when she was on pre-order, now you probably can only find her on YJA… on ebay the prices are not realistic for her. My DD family is not big compared to some of the collectors out there ;)
